OBJECTIVE To characterize foveal atrophy in a heterogeneous group of patients with uveitis using clinical findings and high-definition (HD) optical coherence tomography (OCT). DESIGN Cross-sectional, retrospective case series. RESULTS The HD-OCT scans of 140 patients seen in a tertiary referral center were reviewed and 23 patients (33 eyes) with foveal atrophy were identified. All of the pa...

purpose: to report treatment with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (ivta) in a patient with cystoid macular edema (cme) secondary to retinitis pigmentosa (rp). case report: a 22-year-old male patient with rp presented with progressive visual loss. visual acuity was 9/10 in the right eye and 10/10 in the left eye without refractive error. examination revealed cme in the right eye. after fail...

Estimates of the density spectrum of the macular pigment (Wyszecki G, Stiles WS. Color Science: Concepts and Methods. Quantitative Data and Formulas. 1st ed. New York: Wiley, 1967); (Vos JJ. Literature review of human macular absorption in the visible and its consequences for the cone receptor primaries. Institute for Perception.

A 75-year-old Caucasian female with a full-thickness macular hole underwent a successful surgical repair. Vision improved from 20/400 to 20/30 after surgery. Two years later, the patient presented with a decreased vision after a fall onto her face with a reopened full-thickness macular hole. Vision decreased to 20/400 and then she underwent a second surgery with an internal limiting membrane pe...

INTRODUCTION Vitreomacular traction syndrome has recently been recognized as a distinct clinical condition. It may lead to many complications, such as cystoid macular edema, macular pucker formation, tractional macular detachment, and full-thickness macular hole formation. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of vitreomacular traction syndrome with eccentric traction at the macula and a partial...

PURPOSE To describe an association between extrafoveal vitreoretinal traction and intractable chronic pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) by the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS In a retrospective case series study, charts and OCT findings of patients who had postoperative recalcitrant pseudophakic CME for at least 6 months and vitreoretinal traction membranes were anal...

PURPOSE To describe a patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye that caused self-limiting recurrent macular detachment and retinoschisis. CASE REPORT An 80-year-old female patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye presented with macular detachment and retinoschisis after cataract surgery. These were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and then absorbed within 9...
